The Synthesis Wizard

Chapter 97 Whose face?

Glitter City.

The city is extremely lively today.

The streets were decorated with lights and colorful, and the streets were bustling with people.

Both sides of the street are covered with curtains bearing the golden flame emblem, which is the symbol of the Flash family.

In the square in the distance, there are tables for placing beer barrels and food for people to eat.

The whole city is now filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

In the carriage compartment, Mu Zhuo opened the curtains and looked at the scenery and the flow of people on the street with interest.

"Glitter City is much more prosperous than before."

Ota, who was sitting opposite, nodded and said, "After all, Glitter City is now the center of the Golden Rock Province."

After defeating the Marquis of Jinyan, the Marquis of Key designated Glitter City as the central town of the province, and the Lord's Palace still used the original Baron's Palace, but it was expanded.

Today's Glitter City is already the political and economic center of the entire Jinyan Province, and is naturally becoming increasingly prosperous.

"President, I heard that Grand Duke Fanxing and the other five marquises sent envoys to congratulate them. Is it true?" Otta asked curiously.

Mu Zhuo smiled and said: "Of course it's true, the dignified Marquis Flash, he still has a little face."

"That was really a big battle."

While he was talking, the carriage had arrived at the Lord's Mansion.

The open space in front of the mansion was filled with various luxury carriages, and the outer walls of the carriages were decorated with a dazzling array of noble coats of arms.

By visual inspection, there are at least two to three hundred species.

Otta even saw a few very familiar noble coats of arms, which were clearly nobles of the Jinghua Principality!

"Even the nobles of our principality came over. Marquis Flash is too proud!"

Mu Zhuo was curious: "It is a fact that he has a lot of face, but it may not be the face of Marquis Flash."

Ota was slightly startled, then showed a thoughtful expression.

They handed the congratulatory gifts to the servants at the gate, and then handed over the invitations. After a simple inspection, they entered the mansion and headed to the hall under the guidance of the servants.

Far away, they heard bursts of laughter coming from the hall.

In the bright and spacious hall, dining tables covered with white cloth were placed in an orderly manner, filled with all kinds of food and wine.

Many well-dressed men and women with a pampered temperament gathered together in twos and threes, holding wine glasses in their hands, talking and laughing elegantly.

Mu Zhuo looked around and recognized many familiar faces.

They are all important figures that are rare for ordinary people to meet, and many of them are viscounts or even earls.

But in the eyes of ordinary people, these high-ranking figures are now sitting in piles in the hall, eagerly awaiting the arrival of their master.

Mu Zhuo smiled in his heart, glanced over, and keenly noticed that two small groups attracted a lot of attention.

The first group is a group of mature men located in the middle of the hall on the right.

Compared with the other nobles present, the words and deeds of this group of people were a little less elegant, a little more capable, and they also had a certain iron-blooded atmosphere unique to soldiers.

If nothing else, these people should be the military nobles recently promoted by the Marquis of Key.

These people have only been around for a short time, and it is difficult for them to integrate with the established nobles from outside, so they form their own group and gather together to chat.

Mu Zhuo looked around and found a few familiar faces inside - Viscount Braid, Baron Jordan and Baron Staley.

Because he often personally leads caravans to Glitter City, he is quite familiar with these three.

The other group of people was a group of teenage boys and girls.

The young and tender face stands out among a group of adults, and is particularly conspicuous.

However, no one dares to underestimate these young people, and many people are even paying attention to them secretly.

After all, these young people are all students of that one.

A nobleman walked over with a smile on his face, wanting to join their chat, but he stepped back after a while with a look of helplessness on his face. It didn't seem to be going well.

Mu Zhuo looked around again, but did not find Sunan.

Then he thought that Sunan would not appear at this time, so he stopped thinking about it, signaled the servants passing by to stop, took a glass of wine from the plate he was holding, then forced a smile and looked at the nearest few The nobleman walked over.

As for Ota, he was placed in another hall, where all the guards brought by the nobles were.

"A boring party."

Kore frowned and looked at the laughing nobles in the hall, a hint of impatience flashed on his face.

"And a bunch of boring people."

Adil smiled and said: "Don't say that. This is the Lord's wedding. If the teacher hears you say these words, he will definitely give you a scolding."

Kore curled his lips and snorted, but his expression of impatience subsided.

He still respects the teacher very much in his heart.

In fact, if the teacher hadn't been attending the wedding, he wouldn't have been here at all.

The time you have for attending such a boring banquet would be better spent learning spells or refining an extra black rock leopard.

Xie Man on the side laughed secretly, looking at the magnificent hall and the well-dressed nobles, but felt a little sad in his heart.

In the past, the only opportunity he had to get in touch with this kind of high-class banquet was to clean up the garbage with Old Roger after the banquet.

But now, he has become one of the guests attending the banquet, and has become the target of many nobles vying to fawn over.

Thinking about it, things are really different.

"Senior Sherman."

Suddenly a voice came from the side. Sherman turned around and found that the person talking to him was Ethan, an apprentice who entered the base in the second batch.

"I heard that there will be a group of red-eyed crows in the base soon. Is it true?" Ethan approached and asked curiously.

Behind him, the newcomers looked over curiously, obviously also very interested in this matter.

Sherman smiled and nodded: "It's true. I heard from Mrs. Amy that the teacher brought it from other places. It has been hatched and will be put into use after a period of cultivation."

"It's really a red-eyed crow."

"I've never seen such a magical creature."

"The book says that red-eyed crows can see prey hundreds of kilometers away."

"So powerful? Then I will definitely find a red-eyed crow as a magic pet in the future."

The newcomers were talking a lot and were full of curiosity about the red-eyed crow.

They were new to wizarding knowledge, and now it was a time when everything was full of novelty.

Sherman laughed and said: "Then you have to work hard. Only a second-level wizard apprentice can contract a magic pet. You still have a long way to go."

"Yes, Senior Sherman."

The newlyweds held their heads high and looked confident.

Sherman and Atil saw this and sighed in unison.

These newcomers have not suffered the severe beatings of cultivation, so they are so confident.

When they meditate for a while, they will know how difficult it is to build a star ring and increase their mental power.

It has been more than two years since they became first-level wizard apprentices, and they haven't even built the third star ring yet.

His mental strength is even lower than the standard for a second-level wizard apprentice.

Promotion is nowhere in sight.

The more you practice, the more you realize the difficulty of improving your strength.

Therefore, I admire and admire my teacher even more.

I heard from Lady Amy that it only took about a year for the teacher to be promoted to a second-level wizard apprentice.

The speed of promotion was beyond their reach.

"The lord is here!"

A voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Sherman's contemplation. He looked up and saw the Marquis of Key walking into the hall with his bride on his arm and a smile on his face.

Both of them wore gorgeous dresses inlaid with jewelry and precious embroidery. The bride also wore a crown on her head, which was particularly eye-catching with her beautiful face.

"The bride is so beautiful." Adil couldn't help but sigh, his eyes shining slightly.

Xie Man smiled and was about to tease her a few words when he suddenly caught sight of an additional figure next to him from the corner of his eye. He turned around and looked solemn.

"teacher."

Kore, Atil, and the newcomers also noticed Sunan and bowed to salute.

The movement here immediately attracted the attention of many nobles.

When they saw Sunan, their eyes suddenly lit up, and they were eager to come forward and talk to him. However, due to the fact that the real owner had already entered the scene, they had to suppress this idea temporarily.

The hall suddenly became quiet.

Sunan looked at the newcomer in the center of the hall with a smile.

There is no church in this world, so the wedding ceremony is not held in a church, and there is no need to exchange vows and rings.

The entire wedding ceremony is actually more like a celebration banquet, solemn and lively at the same time.

Su Nan thinks this is pretty good, as there is no need to go through so many formal processes.

After some speeches and blessings, the banquet officially began.

People began to drink, chat and laugh.

Many nobles were holding wine glasses and were about to chat with Sunan. When they turned around, they were shocked to find that Sunan had disappeared.

Even the young apprentices have left.

A group of people were immediately disappointed.

Behind the hall, the reception room.

Sunan sat on the sofa and sipped wine leisurely.

Not long after, Keyi walked in. Seeing his appearance, he couldn't help but smile: "I know you are here, why don't you stay a little longer? There are many people coming to this wedding today for you." ”

Sunan shrugged silently.

Of course he knows this.

I just knew that Sunan had no interest in playing tricks with those people, and he was qualified to do so.

"Where's the bride? Are you just going to leave her behind?"

Seeing Sunan change the topic, Keyi didn't care, smiled, sat down on the sofa, and poured himself a glass of wine.

"She went back to rest. An eighteen-year-old girl is very tired after working all day."

Su Nan raised her eyebrows and said: "It is not good to be in poor health. It is not good for the genes of future generations. Let her eat more dragon blood fruit another day."

Genetic inheritance is more obvious in this world.

The children of knights have better qualifications and are more likely to become knights.

If you are the child of a great knight, it is almost certain that you will be promoted to knight.

Not to mention the legendary knight.

It is also true that in some noble families that have been passed down for hundreds of years, strong men often emerge in large numbers, and knights continue to emerge.

This is exactly how genes have been improved.

If both parents are knights, the probability of their children becoming knights is almost 70-80%.

It's a pity that there are very few female knights in this era.

Noble daughters focus more on manners and social arts. They learn singing, playing instrumental music, table manners, and perhaps court dancing and equestrian skills, but they do not pay attention to martial arts training.

But it doesn't matter. If your martial arts skills are not good, just improve your physical fitness.

Anyway, with the Dragon Blood Fruit, it is not difficult to greatly enhance one's physique in a short period of time.

The two casually chatted for a while, and then the topic shifted to the recent situation of the Spark Sect.

"Currently, the places where the Xinghuo Cult is making the most progress in spreading its faith are Hongye Province and Ranshuang Province."

"The former has the endorsement of the Grand Duke and has faced almost no difficulties from top to bottom."

"The latter is currently being rebuilt, and the people are suffering from hunger and cold. As long as the Spark Sect gives away some food, it can easily gain a large number of believers."

"As for Hulan Province, Suoman Province and Zizhu Province, although they have not expressed support for the spread of Xinghuo Cult's faith, they have not made any obvious obstacles. They are probably still waiting and watching."

Key makes no mention of the White Tower Province.

However, judging from the Marquis of White Tower's choice to marry him, his attitude is self-evident.

"We need time to accumulate strength, but we cannot just let the Spark Cult expand its power. Do you have any good ideas?" Keyi said solemnly.

Sunan pondered slightly.

They can't get involved in the territory of other provinces yet, so naturally they can't disrupt the Spark Sect's actions.

The only thing that can be done is to unite with the White Tower Province and prohibit the Spark Sect from entering.

Of course, there is no other way at all.

We can't count on Jinyan Province, but there are still jungle huts.

Maybe we can start from this aspect.

"I'll figure this out." Sunan said.

Hearing Sunan say this, Keyi's expression suddenly softened a lot.

He had always had great confidence in Sunan. Since Sunan had said so, he must have had some calculations in his heart.

Boom!

There was a sudden knock on the door.

"Come in."

The door opened and Brad walked in quickly, looking a little solemn.

"Lord, Your Excellency Sunan."

First, he saluted the two of them, and then Brad said in a deep voice:

"Information came from the patrol guards that all the people in a village more than ten kilometers north of the city have disappeared!"

Key's expression became concentrated and he asked, "Have you found out what happened?"

"According to the guard's report, there are many traces of bites from the claws of wild beasts, as well as a large amount of residual blood. It is initially speculated that a herd of beasts attacked the village, killed all the people in the village, and then dragged the bodies away."

"Herd?"

Key frowned, looking a little confused.

It is not uncommon for a herd of beasts to attack a village. It may be unbelievable that not even the person who reports the news can escape from the whole village.

How big must the herd be to do something like this?

When something like this happened on the big day, Keyi was in an extremely bad mood. He frowned and ordered: "You personally lead people to investigate, and you must find the murderer who attacked the village!"

"Yes, sir!"

Brad agreed with a solemn expression, and then left resolutely, preparing to mobilize manpower.

"It just happened at this time," Key sighed.

Su Nan stood up and patted him on the shoulder, comforting him: "Hang on with the wedding first, and we'll talk about other things tomorrow."

Key nodded, got up and returned to the hall.

After all, he is the rightful owner today and cannot be away for too long.

Sunan walked to the window and looked to the north, thoughtfully.

"Herd?"
